CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Are you a college student looking for a business competition to
demonstrate your aptitude for strategy and problem-solving? If you’d
like to showcase your ingenuity and critical thinking skills beyond the
college campus on a global scale, then P&G’s CEO Challenge is the
opportunity. The Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) (NYSE: PG) has opened
the window for applications to its next Global CEO Challenge, a creative
way to attract top talent to P&G. It invites students to demonstrate
their business skills in several real-world scenarios, showcasing the
type of work they could do for P&G brands. Apply by visiting https://www.pg-ceochallenge.com/
Deadlines vary by country.

“Students want an opportunity to demonstrate that they can put what
they’ve learned into action,” said P&G Chief Executive Officer David
Taylor. “The CEO Challenge allows you to do just that. If you want
exposure to the kind of work you’d do at P&G while showcasing your
skills, this is your chance.”

The first worldwide challenge in 2018 was a huge success with more than
23,000 students from 40 countries applying. The 2018 winner was an
all-female team of industrial engineers from Saudi Arabia: Linah
Hussain, Malak Mously and Rawan Baik. They met P&G CEO David Taylor in
Cincinnati this summer, attended the Company’s annual SIGNAL Accelerator
Summit, and received employment offers from P&G.

For the 2019 challenge launching now, you’ll get to work on a business
case study for Gillette, the world’s largest grooming brand. The
competition includes three rounds: local, regional and global. In the
local and regional rounds, students’ work includes real P&G case
studies, and you’re asked to build a business strategy. In the global
round, you’ll compete in a business simulator that requires you to make
decisions in the company as the CEO.

What’s in it for students?

An opportunity to interview with P&G through real-world business
problem solving, potentially leading to an employment offer

An all-expenses paid trip to the location of the Regional Finals and
to Dubai, UAE to compete in the Global Finals

Official winners will be invited to our Cincinnati headquarters to
meet P&G leaders and CEO David Taylor

The Global Finals will be held in Dubai, UAE from May 20-24, 2019.
